Plots(1)
A comedy-drama full of anecdotal charm, Life with Father paints a portrait of life in an 1880's New York City household. Wall Street broker Clarence Day (William Powell) thinks he's the king of his castle, but it's really his wife Vinnie (Irene Dunne) who's at the reins. While Mr. Day attempts to run the house like a tight ship, he's often baffled by the fact that his wife seems to have a hand in everything he does. Join the Days in this heartwarming slice-of-life film that is sometimes poignant, often humorous and always entertaining! (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
